Seems reasonable enough. I should have some time tomorrow to look at this closer. Added requires for timidity++, should be available with next push of Fedora Extra packages. Thanks for the bug report. timidity++ is over 9MBs though... :-/ but it is in Core. |
SDL_mixer needs /etc/timidity.cfg as well as the timidity instruments in order to play MIDI files. To reproduce: "playmus /path/to/a/file.mid", results: Opened audio at 22050 Hz 16 bit stereo, 4096 bytes audio buffer Couldn't load [...]: /etc/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory If /etc/timidify.cfg is manually created without installing timidity++, the error message goes away, but there's still no sound (due to missing instruments, I gather). Installing timidity++ fixes both issues, so IMO SDL_mixer should have a dependency on it. Leaving pulling it in as the responsibility of apps using SDL_mixer to play MIDI files would be suboptimal and fragile should SDL_mixer for some reason ever be changed to use native (GPL'd) MIDI internally.
